Teodore Fedyna/Fedena
(ζΕΔΙΞΑ) was very likely called Fedko or Fedor by family and wife, Marya Kasha.
dob 1874 in Selo/village Dublyany
There is some indication that Fedko and Marya married late in a time frame when villagers married quite young. Don't be surprised to find that this may have been a second marriage for both??? Their first spouses may have died ??? In 1895, just in Dublyany alone, 40 families died of starvation.
OR it could also be that they just married late.

From late 18th century to 1919 wies/village Dublyany was a large village with both a Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic Church. The filial Jewish Kahal was in Sambor. Sambor was the POWIAT (administrative district-county) and Laka was the GMINA (judicial/tax district)> Lemberg (Lwow) region > Historic Galicia (Halyczyna) Province, administered by ethnic Poles for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During the Interwar Period (1919-1938) the region came under Reconstituted Poland's domain. Technically Poland had not existed as a geopolitical entity for the previous 125 yrs. Post WW2 this region became a part of SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain, until 1991 when Ukraine became independent.
Today selo/village Dublyany (
(δΥΒΜΡΞΙ in Ukrainian), first documented in 1432, still exists with a population of 2100+. To the west of the village, there is a very unique preserve of woodland. There are 300 and 400 yr old oaks still thriving among the many 100 yr young oaks. The international scientific community considers this a one of a kind.

In Ukrainian DUB means OAK. The village name means DWELLERS AMONG OAKS.
In Dublyany the first parish church was built in 1507. That was only 15 yrs after Columbus discovered America. In 1624 the church was burned during a Tartar attack on the village. Then a simple one was built again and then in 1860 the Church of the Epiphany of the Lord was constructed.. It remains an architectural landmark to this day.
This is where Grandfather Fedko (Teodore) was baptised within 10 days of his birth. In this time frame the METRYKA (Baptismal certificate) served as the birth certificate.

I provided you with info on LDS Film for Dublyany. If you have never researched these films before I encourage you to try your hand at it. Start by locating your nearest LDS Family Center. Order the film you would like to tackle. Rental is nominal. Bring a notebook, pens and a magnifying glass.
FamilySearch.org - Family History Centers
There is an exc HOW-TO tutorial on following:
New Page 1
I would start w/grandfather's Metryka and a Matrimonial Certification.
If you find that it is too difficult , consider hiring a local in Ukraine, who will do the work for less than the archives normally charges. We have members here that could help you with that, if you like. After you are done with your family tree, consider contacting surviving family that may still be in the village. The researcher in Ukraine can also help you w/that. Also consider grabbing one of the kids in your family, and making a trip to Ukraine. Take a cotton bag with you. Bring some home soil back to your Immigrant/Ancestor's grave. There is a Ukrainian adage that says that for a Ukrainian soul eternal sleep is sweeter, when there is home soil for a pillow
Following is nothing more than a form of encouragement. These are Feduna still residing in Dublyany.
